    Music and Plants

    Just curious what thoughts you all may have on the effect playing music may have on your plants. I have read what articles I could online and found the studies Dorothy Retallack conducted along with a couple of others, and I've also read The Secret Life of Plants. From what I see, the...

    Mystery spots- Please Help! Pics

    I had an Ona Block right next to the plant and it has been moved now. All the other plants are fine, except for this one. Which leads me to believe that it's the ozone. I don't see any other bugs or eggs except for the fungus gnats flying around. I already have the sticky traps up, but those...

    human waste

    What we don't realize is that waste (urine and dung) is used as fertilizer for all the foods we eat and nitrates from animal feces even end up in our tapwater in small quantities. Urine is a perfectly natural additive that is potent and high in Nitrogen. Just make sure that you dilute it with...

    Broke plant IN HALF!

    Yeah, I saw a lot of forum postings about that, but couldn't find any about it breaking off completely. I might be beyond medical tape at this point. I think the best bet for me would be to clone and hope it turns out to be a she. Thanks for the input!

    Broke plant IN HALF!

    Yeah, she's going topless right now lol. I just wanted to make sure she'll be okay, because she lost half of herself in an instant. If that happened to a human, they could have a heart attack (or so I've heard). Well, shoot then...sweet. More colas. I can live with that. It is a bit of a...

    Broke plant IN HALF!

    I was LST'ing "Stoney" and guess I should have been more gentle. I snapped her stem and the top came off :dunce: She is almost 6 weeks old. She lost her top, which consisted of 3 sets of leaves and a growth tip. She is now down to 4 nodes. I'm expecting plant shock and a growth set-back at...

    Mystery spots- Please Help! Pics

    Hey All, I have these lime green/light brown spots on the lower 3 sets of fan leaves of one of my plants. I have had pH issues in the past and this looks different. I have 13 6-week old plants growing from bagseed in Fertilome soil. I started fertilizing at 4 weeks with a 1/4 strength dose of...

    My soil has mold!

    I would use hydrogen peroxide in your next watering. Use 3% hydrogen peroxide, like the kind you find at the pharmacy. I would use 3 ounces per gal. It might fizz a little bit at first when you water, so don't panic. Hydrogen peroxide is also a root oxidizer and will quickly dissolve into...

    Fungus Gnats or something else?

    Hey All, I have these lime green/copper brown spots on the lower fan leaves of one of my plants. I have had pH issues in the past and this looks different. I have 13 6-week old plants growing from bagseed in soil. I started fertilizing at 4 weeks with a weak dose of Age Old Grow 12-6-6...

    High pH is killing my plants!

    hm, do you think it was the vinegar that killed the plant? I looked through the roots when I dumped out the soil and they looked white, didn't smell or feel slimy, but they were really thin and long. The main stem just folded over and went limp (as did the leaves). I guess, I thought I didn't...

    High pH is killing my plants!

    My plants are 7 weeks old. 1 week ago, the tallest plants was getting a little chlorotic, so I treated with epsom salt. A few days later I saw that the bottom leaves were yellowing on a couple of plants, so I tested the pH of the soil and our tap water and it was 7.5 2 days ago, I flushed the...
